“…Mediterranean diet has been associated with a reduced risk of CVD [140] as well as with lower recurrence of coronary events [141] and mortality [142]. The Mediterranean diet is characterized by a high consumption of vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds, a moderate to high consumption of fish, a low to moderate consumption of dairy products and ethanol (mainly wine) and a low consumption of red meats [143].…”

“…The Mediterranean diet has been linked with a protective role against chronic diseases, mainly cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancer (Panagiotakos et al 2005). Milk and dairy products are important components of the Mediterranean diet (Selvaggi et al 2014), and it is proposed that they be consumed daily (Kastorini et al 2010).…”

Given that goat milk and dairy products should be consumed daily according to suggestions based on Mediterranean diet, the current study evaluates the antiatherogenic properties of goat milk and goat dairy products (yogurt and white cheese). Total lipids (TLs) of all three samples were extracted by the method of Bligh and Dyer and further separated into total polar lipids (TPLs) and total neutral lipids (TNLs) by counter current distribution. The fatty acid profiles of TPL and TNL of all three samples were determined by gas chromatography analysis. TL and TPL were tested to determine whether they induce platelet aggregation or inhibit platelet aggregation induced by the platelet-activating factor (PAF). The most active lipids were found in goat white cheese (i.e., since they showed lower IC 50 values in both TL and TPL samples than corresponding fractions of goat milk and goat yogurt), so the TPL of goat white cheese were further separated by preparative thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The obtained polar lipid fractions after TLC separation were also tested for their biological activity. All the samples' lipids, and especially the polar ones, were found to exhibit strong anti-atherogenic activities. This fact highlights the nutritional value of goat dairy products in terms of cardioprotection, as PAF is a crucial inflammatory mediator that is implicated in the mechanism of atherogenesis.

“…For example, in cardiovascular medicine, significant geographic variation exists in performance of carotid revascularization procedures among Medicare beneficiaries, 37 physician propensity to treat specific cardiovascular conditions, 38 the adherence to specific diet and prevalence of acute coronary syndromes, 39 and incidence and outcomes of patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction. 40 On a more local level, examples of studies of the association between neighborhood effects and cardiovascular-related outcomes include the effect of neighborhood of residence and incidence of coronary heart disease, 41 neighborhood characteristics and bystander-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 42 and survival after experiencing a myocardial infarction.…”

BACKGROUND: Research has demonstrated that variation in availability and utilization of health care resources exist on a range of scales, from regions of the United States, hospital referral regions, ZIP codes, and census tracts. Limited research using spatial analyses has found that variation in medication adherence exists across census tracts. Using spatial analysis, researchers may be able to effectively analyze geographically dispersed data to determine whether factors such as sociodemographics, local shared beliefs and attitudes, barriers to access such as availability of prescribers or pharmacies, or others are associated with variations in medication adherence in a defined geographic area.
